Full Lyrics: "MEAN OLE LION" by David Alan Grier as "The Cowardly Lion" in "THE WIZ LIVE!" Say what you wanna But I'm here to stay 'Cause I'm a mean ole lion You can go where you're gonna But don't get in my way I'm a mean ole lion You'll be standing in a draft If you don't hear me laugh And if you happen to come around Well, you best not make me frown For I just might knock you down I'm a mean ole lion You know I'm ready to fight And turn your day into night 'Cause I'm a mean ole lion If you're half bright You'll detour to the right From a mean ole lion All you strangers better beware This is the king of the jungle here And if I happen to let you slide Don't just stand here Run and hide You just caught my better side I'm a mean ole lion Look, You better beware This is the king of the jungle here And if I happen to let you slide Don't stand here Run and hide You just caught my better side I'm a mean ole lion I'm a mean ole lion
Omg years ago I played the Lion in a play too lol I was initially upset but I played the role well everyone was impressed when they found out I was a girl
Too me when I was little I used to watch the old wiz movie 🎥 in my school on a smart board my favorite characters were Diana Ross and Michael Jackson the lion and tin man.

Full Lyrics: "MEAN OLE LION" by David Alan Grier as "The Cowardly Lion" in "THE WIZ LIVE!"
Say what you wanna
But I'm here to stay
'Cause I'm a mean ole lion
You can go where you're gonna
But don't get in my way
I'm a mean ole lion
You'll be standing in a draft
If you don't hear me laugh
And if you happen to come around
Well, you best not make me frown
For I just might knock you down
I'm a mean ole lion
You know I'm ready to fight
And turn your day into night
'Cause I'm a mean ole lion
If you're half bright
You'll detour to the right
From a mean ole lion
All you strangers better beware
This is the king of the jungle here
And if I happen to let you slide
Don't just stand here
Run and hide
You just caught my better side
I'm a mean ole lion
Look,
You better beware
This is the king of the jungle here
And if I happen to let you slide
Don't stand here
Run and hide
You just caught my better side
I'm a mean ole lion
I'm a mean ole lion
This song helps because I’m doing a school play on the WIZ
Would someone please play this song over Grier's scene in Tales from the Hood? Thank you.
I love it
Anyone here because he's playing Cogsworth in the 30th anniversary telecast?!!
A few years back my school did this but the lion was a girl.....it was a fun twist.
Most of the Wiz cast in the production I did was played by girls, not only the Lion but the Scarecrow and Tin Person.
Pussy cat came to my mine when I read this
Omg years ago I played the Lion in a play too lol I was initially upset but I played the role well everyone was impressed when they found out I was a girl
Too me when I was little I used to watch the old wiz movie 🎥 in my school on a smart board my favorite characters were Diana Ross and Michael Jackson the lion and tin man.
I love that, as a girl who has this as my fav song I'd live for that
I there a karaoke version of this out there somewhere???
Good job,, but impossible to compare to Ted Ross. Ted simply owned the role and brought the heat vocally.
True he did do the role in both the original Broadway show and the 1978 film with Diana Ross and Michael Jackson.
That's what I said.....and quincey jones arrangements is unbeatable but I like this version by DAG
I ike this
Good
Love DAG but the original by Quincy Jones from the movie is the best.....It still gives.
I'm a ole lion
an*
this is my dance
what you been waiting for..... 1:06
I'm the Lion but doing The Wizard Of Oz
Im the lion too bit doing the wiz
Guitarist505 how
Khary Payton could play the Lion in a audio production.
My schools doing this play and 8 logically know who I'm trying out 4
